Accurate and comprehensive operative notes are vital for patient care, but the quality of these notes often varies. This study found that standardized training and feedback on operative dictations are lacking for surgical trainees. The results highlight the need for a formal curriculum to improve residents' ability to create effective operative notes.
Introduction Accurate operative notes are imperative to patient care and are used for communication, billing, quality assurance, and medical-legal conflicts. However, operative note quality often varies and many lack critical details. Unfortunately, no standardized training exists in operative dictations for surgical trainees. This pilot study sought to determine resident ability to dictate a comprehensive operative note and to determine a need for a formal operative dictation curriculum. Methods Thirty-eight surgical residents between post-graduate years ( PGY) one to four participated in a ventral hernia repair simulation. One senior (PGY3/4) resident coached two junior residents (PGY1/2). Residents completed an informal needs assessment regarding operative dictations. Post-simulation, residents completed an operative dictation. Notes were graded using a modified validated rubric. Results Thirty-five residents completed the needs assessment, and 38 residents submitted an operative note. Eighty-two percent of this group have completed <= 25 operative dictations in training and 77% have received minimal feedback on operative dictations. Out of 33 total points, mean overall score was 18.9 +/- 5.4 (Junior resident: 17.9 +/- 5.4; Senior resident: 20.9 +/- 4.8) Total mean scores did not significantly differ between junior and senior residents (p = 0.10). Senior and junior residents scored similarly on the procedural details component (p = 0.29). Senior residents scored higher on relevant patient history and operative note headers (p = 0.04). Conclusion Standard surgical training may not provide enough teaching and feedback to residents on operative note dictations. A formal residency training curriculum may bolster trainee ability to learn the components of an effective operative note.
